Any advice for little girl "rubbing" herself?

My daughter is constantly "rubbing' or "wiggling" on her toys, or on her chari arm, anywhere really. I keep asking her if it's itchy, or hurts, but she says no. Her vagina gets all red from the rubbing, and then she says it hurts when I change her and wipe her. But I can't get her to stop. I had her to the dorctor and she said that it's probably a little bit of a yeast infection, to stop bathing her with bubble bath, and gave us an external cream with both cortizone and canestan. She has been on this for a week now. It really has not stopped her from itching and wiggling... does any one know what this could be?? Any suggestions would be helpfull.thanks!

Don't know if you will see this but my daughter was doing the same thing and she just outgrew it. She would always put her hands in her diaper. I guess the constant looks to stop and telling her to take her hands out of her pants by me and the teacher in daycare paid off. She finally stopped doing it.

My daughter has been putting her hand down there a lot lately. I just stop her and say we don't put our hands there but it is nothing like what you are describing. It does sound like it might be a yeast infection... awful and annoying sorry for your little girl. Does she eat yogurt at all? Maybe start if she doesn't.... or stop if she has been before the occurrence. I swear it gives me infections.
